E N D
Lab 6: Molecular Biology • Description • Gel electrophoresis • cut DNA with restriction enzyme • fragments separate on gel based on size
Lab 6: Molecular Biology • INTRODUCTION: • restriction enzyme • gel electrophoresis • DNA is negatively charged • smaller fragments travel faster • RFLPs • DNA Fingerprint
Hypothesis • IND VAR: DNA samples • DEP VAR: RFLP fragment sizes • PREDICT: who is the criminal?
Lab 6: Gel Electrophoresis • Data and analysis DNA = negatively charged correlate distance to size smaller fragments travel faster & therefore farther
DATA • Sketch of gel • Data table from pg. 43 • Logarithmic graph.
Analysis • Answer “interpretation of results” on p. 46
Questions • Answer all questions asked DURING THE LAB at end of lab. • Pp. 29, 34, 36
